Sound at the end of the tunnel! Extended wear hearing aids

by admin on Feb.05, 2010, under Uncategorized

Extended wear hearing aid is a device which is used to serve people with mild to moderate hearing loss. The main advantage of this extended wear hearing aid is that it can be worn for a long time thus avoiding frequent visits to the specialist for replacement. The hearing aid is inserted deep into the ear canal and hence it is barely visible on the outside making it more favourable. Named Lyric, this haring aid was invented by Adnan Shennib of the company In sound medical, and they are the only producers of this technology till date.

Soft padding material surround the hearing aid which reduce the discomfort to a great extent and it is inserted into the ear canal less than a few millimetre within the ear drum. The fit is made compact in the ear canal by customizing the hearing aid by taking the size of the canal through measurements and manufacturing aids catering to specific individuals. The insertion is best done by a specialist as it involves fitting it close to the tympanic membrane and hence meticulous movement and practice is necessary. Involving the specialist for the fitting and removal of this aid is one of the drawbacks of this technology, so, for the replacement of dead batteries, a visit to the specialist would be advisable, but it’s a cinch that the batteries wont get drained anytime within 6 months of purchase. A special removal tool is also provided with the kit such that in case an emergency situation arises where the device has to be removed immediately, then it can be done by themselves.

Customization of the hearing test is done based on an evaluation with a hearing consultant or a professional. The specialist takes into consideration the patient’s level of hearing whether mild or moderate, the size and shape of the ear, the volume or size of the ear canal and the other medical conditions that they might possess before setting out to produce the hearing aid catered to them. Though the hearing aid has been designed to withstand moisture so that it can be worn when engaging in activities like exercise or shower it is always better to remove it while swimming as it is unadvisable to experiment over it. Though the hearing aid has a warranty of up to six months without replacement the actual lifetime of the aid will always depends upon the user’s handling and lifestyle patterns.

Siemens have some very good hearing aids on the market available at cheap prices. The Siemens hearing aids are a very good brand.
